Hi

I’m new to ROR. I have to access web service methods for the app i’m  
working on now. I tried creating a web service to get a feel of it  
using actionwebservice. I installed the gem but I don’t think my rails  
installation recognises it. (Error: no such file to load –  
actionwebservice)  
Anyone has any advise on this.  
Thanks in advance.

The book Enterprise Recipes with Ruby and Rails has several recipes  
for hooking up to a web service. Get it at [http://pragprog.com](http://pragprog.com).
